Mr. bin Laden, Can You Pretty Please Tell Us What's Going On?
The NY Times is reporting that we have been a tad rough with senior level Al Queda detainees in order to get information. There is a fine line between torture and making sure these terrorist give us information. Where do we draw the line? I don't know.
Giving them to a third-party country may be a viable option. Get the info with plausible deniability. I don't know where the correct place to draw the line is. But the "stop before I say 'stop' again" mentality has got to go.
